1. When is the best time to buy? It’s sometimes not as obvious as you think…

Considering new cars are registered on the same two months of every year, surely it’s a given that the best time to buy is alongside the huge offers that coincide with this?

Well, more often than not for used cars, it’s a different story. Often, sales events are held throughout the year separately to new cars and the manufacturer offers to avoid confusion. The January sales are notorious for grabbing a great deal and for cars it’s no different!

It can pay to shop in quieter periods as dealers will be happy to take the opportunity to clear out stock, expecting a flood of vehicles in the run up to a new plate change. These months would be January, February, July and August.

2. Buy with confidence – main dealer service history is important

At Perrys, for all our used cars we offer Experian history, mechanical checks and a warranty. And if it’s due a service or MOT soon, we’ll take care of it for you before you buy.
